Doctor Who: Short Trips: Snapshots: Indian Summer


 

Indian summer from snapshots is timeline code number #0.10

The story is multiple summers over the years in a diary esc style in the perspective of Suresh. Suresh working at a restaurant a few soldiers came in and a ghosts predicts one will die and they do. By sitting at this one table at the restaurant a ghost appears its quite a creepy story, very uncomfy read in the best way.

Suresh keeping notes on the ghost is also quite a dark thing too the powerlessness and acceptance that the ghost is there. I love the character of Suresh hes a very normal person the reader can relate too and Suresh growing up as the story goes on is quite cute.

Susan visiting this restaurant throughout the years is a cute side just looking for the Doctor, it’s a nice character beat moment.

I love how the Doctor was the ghost it’s kind of cute in a way. Keeping an eye on Suresh though out his life 


My Ranking: 10/10

Doctor Who: Unbound: Deadline

*SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* Starting a doctor who time line marathon with this seems silly, but with the tagline of "what if doctor who was never made?" it just makes sense to put it first.  timeline number code U0.0 This is my first proper written out review so please bare with me :) Deadline is the 5th unbound audio by big finish it was releases in September 2003. It was written by Robert Shearman and directed by Nicholas Briggs.  Deadline is all about a writer called Martin, who is now an old man and struggles with his passion as he is now an older man in a care home. He starts to remember back 40 years ago to his magnum-opus that was doctor who.    lets start with the cast of characters: Derek Jacobi plays the troubled writer, Martin. He neglected his wives and son who he walked out on because he found them boring, which shows how arrogant of a man he is. Derek plays the role wonderfully, I was hanging on his every word, as we slowly explored his mind. Genevieve Swallo...

Doctor Who: Short Trips: Quality of Leadership: The Price of Conviction

The Price of Conviction time line code #0.12 *spoilers* The story opens with Susan commenting on how the doctor enjoys the company of humans more then there own people. there is also  signs of Susan wanting to stay in one place and settle down. when  the Tardis Lands the Chameleon   circuit  takes the form of a shed which is quite funny to think about. as Doctor and Susan talk to a merchant and its revealed a trial is happening. The Doctor gives the merchant a gem and he becomes extremely  on edge trying to hide it and not let anyone see it so it doesn't  get stolen, the merchant warns the doctor of being careful with his wealth. I love how this comes after alchemist with a story about money showing the Doctors still learning. Susan gets separated  from the doctor overhearing 2 people Willhem and Karl talking bout the upcoming trial, Susan is noticed and they grab her.  I love how the Doctor and Susan are thrust into this sequence of events j...

Doctor Who: Telos Novella: Time and Relative

Time and Relative timeline code #0B.2 *spoilers* love this story its all from the perspective of Susan, when I say Susan wrote throughout this review i truely mean the writer Kim Newman. I love how Susan holds herself as being above people of 1963 but not pushing them down. At the start she comments on how failed the school system is and how horrible her teacher is, accidentally mocking her form teacher Mr Grange in front of him. Mr Grange uses Susan as a lightning bolt for his feelings about how the children mocked him for years with the name ghastly. Its nice to see her having a friend group too being Gillian and John, Susan will go on these random tangents in her diary about people and i love them. The fact its extremely cold in march and been like this for a while is interesting, John even saying these random theories about it. the friendship between the 3 is very cute and feels very genuine. When PE is cancelled I feel there friend ship shines. After class when Susan goes to the T...
